Abstract

Circular economy strategies optimize resource utilization, lower the requirement for raw materials and minimize waste. Nevertheless, studies focusing on the interactions and interrelationships among these strategies are scarce, particularly in emerging economies. To close this gap, this study develops a new approach for investigating the interactions and interdependencies among strategies for circular economy implementation using the DF-DEMATEL technique. According to the findings, “Investment in green technology” is the most critical strategy and needs significant attention for successfully implementing the circular economy. This research significantly assists industry decision-makers and specialists in developing economies to focus on the most critical strategies for promoting circular economy in their supply chains and move towards sustainable development.
